Morena candidate concedes defeat in Coahuila election

Antonio Attolini Murra has acknowledged his defeat in the Coahuila gubernatorial election, where his campaign garnered a mere 22% of the vote. He was significantly outpaced by PRI candidate Verónica Martínez García, who secured 62% of the total votes cast. Attolini, representing the Morena party, received 19,967 votes, falling far short of the projected outcome.

In a video message posted on social media, Attolini thanked his supporters and vowed to continue the fight for the transformation of Torreón. "This chapter closes, but the fight for the transformation of Torreón does not stop here. We will not fail you and we will not stop fighting. Because there is nothing more Obradorista than getting up from a defeat, and no one here surrenders," he stated, referencing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's political movement.

Martínez García's victory in district 9, located in Torreón, positions her as a local deputy. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) solidified its dominance in Coahuila's elections, winning all 16 districts of the state congress. The PRI amassed 684,515 votes, representing 55.01% of the total, more than double the 326,012 votes (26.20%) obtained by the Morena-PT coalition. A total of 1,244,124 votes were registered in the election, with a historic voter turnout of 51% of registered electors.
